AI Technical Summary
The high catalytic activity of soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) in the prior art prevents the effective accumulation of the bioactive lipid signaling molecule EET in vivo, thus hindering the effective treatment of sEH-mediated diseases such as hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and inflammation.
To develop a benzimidazole compound containing aromatic substituents, in which the benzene ring of the benzimidazole structure is directly linked to a first aromatic substituent and the imidazole ring is directly linked to a second aromatic substituent, forming a soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitor with high inhibitory activity.
This compound exhibits extremely high inhibitory activity, with IC50 values in the nanomolar range or even lower. It can effectively increase EET levels, treat sEH-mediated diseases, including hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and inflammation, and can cross the blood-brain barrier to treat central nervous system disorders.
